Net metering provides one way for customers who generate their own renewable electricity to reduce the power they need for their homes. Customers receive a credit that you can rollover for any excess energy that you generate.

Renewable energy is electricity that is produced from natural resources, including the sun, wind, water and organic matter. Renewable energy resources provide clean energy and are readily replenished by nature.

The net metering program is intended to help customers generate power to cover some (or all) of their household or business energy requirements. Annually, on November 1, unused net metering credits that have rolled over month to month will reset or zero out under the company’s current net metering rider. The original reset date was June 1. That date was changed to November 1 at the request of our customers to allow them to take advantage of using their net metering credits during the peak summer months.

For an application for interconnection, please call SCE&G Energy Information Services toll-free at 1-866-660-3705. Since you will need to coordinate the installation of your renewable generator with SCE&G, we appreciate early notification.

Palmetto Clean Energy gives customers the option to support the development of renewable energy resources such as solar, wind, hydro, and biomass.
